In this second episode, three people who participated in PARR activities discuss the weight of racialized burden and the importance of intentional identity-specific spaces to speak freely about the discrimination experienced in research environments. They share their experiences across the project’s activities, the positive impact of these safer spaces, and the tangible tools they acquired: protection strategies, self-advocacy, and documentation of harm.
